Verizon Business Powers 'Software-as-a-Service' Business Model for NOW Solutions Inc.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------_NOW Solutions Rolls Out Web-Based HR Software Suite, Supported by Verizon Business Data Center Services With Built-In Security and Reliability_ BASKING RIDGE, N.J., -- Verizon Business Data Center Services are supporting NOW Solutions Inc.'s rollout of a new Web-based human resource management software service designed to help businesses perform key personnel functions including payroll, performance reviews and benefits administration. Verizon Business services are providing round-the-clock access and a secure, robust environment for delivering NOW Solutions' new delivery model of its emPath(R) portfolio of human resource software services. The NOW Solutions software is now built on an increasingly popular model known as software-as-a-service (SaaS) in which the applications are hosted by the vendor, rather than the customer, and delivered as a service over the Web to help control set-up and operational costs. When delivered as an SaaS service, the emPath human resources management system (HRMS) helps to minimize the strain on companies' internal information resources and infrastructure capacity.
